    1994 Corolla - New Owner!

    In my 9th gen corolla, our odometers stop at 299,999. When you swap a new cluster in the odometer continues at whatever the cluster is at. I'd wager to guess that the older corollas are the same way. Most new vehicles use a control module to store the odometer reading and can only be edited by...

    2010 Corolla Oil Change info

    you pull the filter off after letting it sit for an hour or so. Most of the oil will be in the sump and you'll lose less than a quart. Top her off after swapping the filter.

    2010 Corolla Oil Change info

    That could indicate viscosity beakdown. That could also indicate that your oil filter is clogged after 1500 miles and the oil is bypassing the filter. Dirty oil does not seal well and will go right past the piston rings. Try changing your filter after 1500 miles or using a better filter.

    Replacing Front Rotors

    Cheap slotted/drilled/etc rotors crack. Good quality slotted/drilled/etc rotors rarely have that issue. As I stated previously, they do increase pad wear. Unless you have issues with warping rotors, I wouldn't reccomend them due to increased price and decreased longevity.

    Disable Beeping/Chime...HELP!

    Im not saying that it should be left on. I really couldn't care less if you disable it. I was simply explaining why a dealer won't disable a factory installed safety feature.

    ATF Replacement Cycle?

    That is correct. If you pull the pan and replace the filter, you will get 3.1 qts out of the system. If you do a full flush and get the fluid out of the torque converter then you'll get right around 6.9 qts out. Fluid flushes are just fine if your transmission is in good shape! If your...

    As faras the low idle, the intake manifold gaskets are known to go bad in these. The stock gasket is black and the toyota updated gasket is orange. It cost me like $5 from the local dealer for the gasket and I changed them out using a handful of tools. Took me 45 minutes to swap the intake...

    Disable Beeping/Chime...HELP!

    So you sign a statement that you won't sue anyone should you hurt yourself due to not wearing a seatbelt. Great. Heaven forbid that you then go kill yourself and your family sues the dealership. They didn't sign anything. This is why they won't touch your safety features. As far as the...

    Disable Beeping/Chime...HELP!

    Seat belt chime? There should not be an option to turn it off. If a dealership disables a safety feature and you go and get in a wreck and severly injure yourself then you could probably sue the dealership. That's why no dealership would ever do what you are asking them to.

    Its a common issue. Google search it. There are other forums where the information is readily available. I have too high of morals to copy it to here and I also like this forum too much to directly link you guys to a competing forum... lol
